MOSCOW, June 28, Oleg Bogatov. Three-time Olympic medalist in luge Albert Demchenko, who ran for president of the Russian Bobsleigh Federation (FBI), but later refused to participate in the reporting and election conference, said that he was going to appeal the decision to elect Anatoly Pegov as the head of the federation. «I will by no means agree with the decision of the conference , because it is illegal from a legal point of view. I will definitely appeal everything to the legal authorities,» Demchenko said. On Tuesday, the reporting and election conference of the Russian Bobsleigh Federation was held in Moscow, at which Pegov was unanimously elected the new president of the organization. Previously, he served as vice president of the federation. Pegov replaced Elena Anikina as president, who decided not to go to the polls. Anikina became the vice-president of the organization. Demchenko, who was running for president of the federation, said earlier that he refused to attend the conference on Tuesday, citing the decision of the FBI presidium to postpone the event to August.
